Linux Mint Forums

There is the main problem to me : can you say the 'distro will only get better' when you experience so many regressions as listed above ? Yes , the system has improved in itself, that's my opinon too. But attention to small details can make big differences and shouldn't be neglected. For the most p...

I've had quite a few annoyances as well since upgrading (or downgrading however you want to look at it) to Mint 14 but I accept that Cinnamon & Nemo are both still in early development, smb is a problem for me as well, streaming video from a network share has been at best a joke, I posted the pr...

For anyone who may be interested or is having similar problems the problem was the Cinnamint theme, I changed to Cinnamon theme and everything is fine

Hi everyone I'm not sure if this is a bug in Mint or not but I use a program called Mediaelch which scans directories for movie files on my pc when I open the program, However since upgrading to Nadia Cinnamon, it will scan up 9% then freeze, and I have to force quit, however even after i force quit...

Hi again

That sorted it thank you, What I don't understand is I had already installed ubuntuone-control-panel-qt from synaptic and it didn't show up in the menu and since running from the terminal it is showing, anyway the important thing is it's working.

Many thanks

Graeme

Hi 67GTA Thanks for your reply I followed the instructions for Mint 14 nadia and still no joy when I get to the last command this is the result graeme@Linux1 ~ $ ubuntuone-control-panel ubuntuone-control-panel: command not found graeme@Linux1 ~ $ It's like my system just doesn't want to know ununtuo...

Hi everyone I'm having problems trying to install ubuntuone I've tried it through synaptic, software manager and via terminal (apt-get install) it will appear to install ok but after installation I can't find it anywhere in the menu, when i type ubuntuone at the terminal I'm told command not found, ...

Hi Altair

Many thanks

Hi everyone I've just installed Mint 14 and it looks great, however since installing I can't find .gvfs, I checked it was installed in Synaptic and it says it is, This is important to me as all my files are stored on a network server and I need .gvfs to access them through a file browser, Any help w...

The only complaints I have is the menu button delay (I've counted up to 3 seconds on occasions) it really is quite annoying and places disappearing form the menu list, other than that I think it's a great DE that can only get better

Do you know of a good internet filter ? I don't know much about internet filters, I'm generally with her when she's on the PC so I've never felt there was any need for a filter, It also depends what browser you're using, I remember using a chrome extension called chrome nanny or something like that...

I'm glad to hear someone else doing this, I done the same thing for my 5 year old Grand-Daughter and she has a lot of fun with it Computers are a huge part of our lives and I thought it would be a good idea to introduce her early and with Linux, You'll be amazed how quick they learn, I installed Min...

My initial reason was purely curiosity, I installed Ubuntu just to see what it was all about and because I was bored, and no it wasn't an easy ride but I stuck with it and eventually curiosity led to a better understanding of not only how a computer works but more importantly for me a better underst...

I've lost count of how many times I've screwed up an operating system, Windows & linux, I just can't leave things alone, especially with Linux because there's so much more you do with it, consequently so much more to screw up, My philosophy seems to be if it aint broken break it, How else do I l...

Hi Raven I'm really struggling with this, but firstly do you have any other devices connected to your router and if so are they working ? if not it might be a good idea to reboot your router and try again, also you should have a network icon on your panel if you have open it up and make sure wired a...

I am probably the perfect example of an average user, I'm 52 year old I didn't do computing at school PC's weren't around then, but when they did come around (maybe the late 1990's for me)I was still young enough to learn new tricks and the only option was Windows I remember booting up my first PC a...

Hi Raven No need to apologise for "noobness" (I hate that word don't you) I'm kinda new to all this myself so I'm a little bit out of my depth here, but it seems to me the answer to your problem is in the link you posted, did you try connecting via ethernet and downloading the driver from ...

Hi Raven I'm really not the right one to help you I,m no where near the most qualified here, but I have set up a wifi myself so until someone more qualified jumps on board I'll try my best. Assuming you have a wireless router set up connecting should be a simple matter, if you click on the wireless ...

Hi Raven I think you will need to be more specific about your problem ie what's actually happening when you try to connect, what kind of setup you have , are you trying to connect through a wireless router or ethernet etc then hopefully someone more knowledgable than me can help you Good luck Graeme

I'm really not very smart like most people on this forum, and I avoid tar.bz files like the plague, I've never successfully installed from one, but if you extract the file there should be a readme that gives installation instructions, but in my experience it involves compiling from source which is a...
